[issue39648] Update math.gcd() to accept "n" arguments.

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com> added the comment:

Python as programming language provides builtin blocks. This is a good example of using functools.reduce().

But if you can provide an algorithm for calculating the GCD and LCM more efficient than sequential applying gcd() and lcm() for two arguments, it would be an argument for implementing it in the stdlib.
